Part of the formal garden of Ardross Castle
An Italianate formal garden is located to the east of the castle. The garden was designed by Edward White in 1909. There are two terraces above a stairway, flanked by a pair of sculptured stags mounted on stone encasements, which leads down to a central compartment. This area is set to lawn and lined by cypress trees, within a cypress hedge. Rectangular formal beds flank the central path. At the east end, the path leads through a low wall to a square compartment set with a circular ornamental pool. A sculptural composition forms the centrepiece depicting 'The Boar Hunt'.
